I believe Cross Country should be compulsory.

Firstly, Health issues are big. you can have diabetes, asthma and seizures..

Secondly, you can run in sports like rugby,soccer,hockey, basketball, and cricket. All sports you want to win for your team and your class. This means you are already used to running.

Lastly, if you're overweight you won't have so much fun but if you're fit it's really fun because you get fresh air.  It is like playing games with your friends,team or class. You can laugh with friends and sweat off.

Doing cross country is really fun so it needs to stay in schools.
